JUNIOR TRAINING CAMP 2011 - Day 2

We kick off for the day with morning exercise at 6.00 a.m. in the morning! (sorry, no pictures)

Then, participants get back to their campsites to get ready for morning inspection / layout.

Prob. S P/L See Yu Sheng and Prob. S P/S Chew Ming Chan advising participants about gadjets

After morning inspection, it was time for backwoodsman cooking competition! Unfortunately, the participant's performance in preparing the fire is less promising a took too much time, dealying the programme. Thus, technically, the competition was canceled. Anyway, it was still carried out as a practice.

Participants preparing fire and bamboo required for backwoodsman cooking

Things did not go so well, and O/C went to help out juniors with their fire.

Meanwhile, senior troop was messing around with a mini-fire! Technicaly, it was Prob. S P/S Khoy Ho Kim. It did not take more than 2 minutes to ignite.

Firstly, arrange the fire wood.

Secondly, light it up.



Stabilize it and we had a fire!

 No more messing around, time for serious business!

Prob. S P/L See Yu Sheng, Prob. S P/L Chan Wei Yang and Prob. T/L Ooi Yeong Sheng with senior troop's second fire, this time, a serious and standard fire.

Guess what, Prob. S P/S Koay Zhi Xi also joined the fun. Our fire was the first to light out although we were the last to start.

 While some was messing with the fire, the inspector panel went to help up juniors.

 Prob. S P/L Puah Fei

 Mas. Tan Chin Hong helping out one of the juniors.

Dear juniors, this is NOT the correct way of backwoodsman cooking.

 Well, at least this is, cook with the heat, not the fire.

 Cooking.

Oops, the fire ignited.

After backwoodsman cooking competition, it was time for lunch and rest. Here are some in-between scence.

Prob. S P/L Wong Eu Ca in bike action!

The only mini gadget submitted. Average for a starter, but still a long way to go.

This tall guy just loves his bike too much.

 Prob. S P/S looking at the mess, his next words should be "CLEAR" or something like that.

Prob. S P/L Quah Fu Yong walking and smiling, at left, Prob. S P/S Wilson Saw Wei Sheng preparing food, as usual.

And this, form 1's lunch, of course, with rice or something like that, really looks nice! It was delicious!

 

And this, O/Cs' lunch, kinda good to be juniors sometimes.

After clearing up the fire place, it was time for station tests and iron scout competition. The station tests for form 1s include:

1. Knots (pratical)
2. Memilih tapak perkhemahan
3. Bendera Malaysia dan Negeri
4. Arah mata angin dan mengenali peta topo
5. Alat pertolongan cemas
6. Manjaga dan menyimpan pisau dan parang

Most of them were theory tests and there wasn't much photos. Performance was above average.

Iron scout competition for form 2s was:

1. Panjat tali
2. Monkey crawl & deadman's crawl
3. Isyarat sulit
4. Transportation
5. Commando crawl + duck walk

Well, at least form 2s had a good time searching for Prob. T/L Walliam Peh for the transportation station. By the way form 2s, from what you guys see in the iron scout competition, it is really time for you guys to brush up your physical.

Once again, sorry guys! No photos for this two activities, but there is for gateway construction!

 Prob. T/L Khoo Yi Sen

Once in awhile, Prob. T/L Neoh Jia Shern is working.

After station test / iron scout competition, it was time for kawad tongkat for both forms! Firstly, congratulations to form 1s for passing the test ( in other words, thank your tester, Prob. S P/L Tan Pei Seng). Sadly, too bad for form 2s who failed, work harder and better luck next time! (in other words, your tester wants better, that's all)

Form 1 in action:

 Side view of the squad.

Form 1:" WE ARE READY!" 

 Serious, no smileys..

 See that guy in a red shirt, that is their tester, Prob. S P/L Tan Pei Seng

 Hormat tongkat

Baring tongkat

Okay, enough for the form 1s, now for the form 2, which of course, tougher.

Whistle = Run to squad

 All in squad, ready guys?

 Julang tongkat

 Oh, commander, you too!

 Walk/March

Moments of the end of test.

Okay, enough for the kawad tongkat part. Just a note for form 2s, plan a kawad tongkat retest as soon as possible. After that, it was time for knots board competition. Rules were simple, knots which were not in usaha, maju and jaya syllabus can be pre-prepared.

 Champion's knots board, but still big improvement space aviable

 Don't just stare at the board! Do something!

After knots board competition, it was time for dinner and rest. For senior troop, dinner time for junior = preperation time for campfire. As said, sometimes, it is REALLY good to be juniors, hope they appreaciate it.

Prob. T/L Khoo Yi Sen with a cat, the cute little kittie, Walliam's best buddy?

Finally, the moment of the camp, CAMPFIRE!

Prob. S P/L Tan Pei Seng briefing participants before the campfire

Our mighty gateway connected to the campfire!

By the way, a message to T/L Ang Wei Ying, our ex-Group Duty Master:-

True quality requires no banner to shed of the weak spots!

Okay, it was literally a joke, let's move on.

 Prob. S P/L Tan Pei Seng, organizing chairman and teacher advisor, Mr. Ooi Eng Aun igniting the campfire.

 Now that is more like it, the carry-wei-yang tradition!

 There goes the campfire, and that means...

 Fall-in!

 Serious, no smiley when "sedia"

The campfire marked the end of day 2. Participants went to bed after that and O/Cs stayed up a little later to clear up the post-campfire mess. That's all for day 2, stay tuned to day 3!

JUNIOR TRAINING CAMP 2011 - Day 1

Once again, the 2nd time of the year, another training camp!

Hereby, presenting

--junior training camp 2011--

from 7.00 a.m. on 28th August 2011 till 3.00 p.m. on 30th August 2011.

If I was given a choice, I would actually rename it as "Junior Test Camp 2011". Why? Simple, because everything in the camp is literally lencana usaha, maju and jaya tests all the time. However, tradition is tradition and should be followed. Moreover, training sounds better!

Above is Prob. T/L Ooi Yeong Sheng giving P/Ls a word or two. He's kinda busy throughout the camp. Not just the organizing programmer, but also the group badge secretary, he has to monitor the event almost 24/7 to make sure that the junior's progress in lencana usaha, maju and jaya tests are in acceptable level.

Prob. S P/S Wilson Saw, chef (Q/M food) for the camp passing by.

Our participants, unpromising attendance though.

It was 7.15 a.m. when the opening ceremony started, kinda late though, sorry for the delay guys. First, we have our chairman!

Oh wait, master of ceremonies first.

At our left, Mas. Tan Chin Hong with Prob. S P/S Chew Ming Chan, master of ceremonies for Junior Training Camp 2011.

Okay, now it is time for CHAIRMAN! The first guy to give a speech for the day, also the head for the event.

Then we have one of our teacher advisors, giving a speech besides declaring the start of Junior Training Camp 2011. Thanks for attending sir!

Meanwhile, first aid check was carried out.

After checking in, it's time for the first competition of the camp, modern cooking competition. Perhaps only for the form 2s, as for the form 1s, it was station training and test just right after it. The stations include:

1. Ketupat
2. Ponco (some sort of shelter thing)
3. Menaikkan Bendera
4. Balutan Anduh

After the competition and tests, it was lunch for form 1 and form 2s. Form 2s had their modern cooking competition post-inspection left-overs for lunch while form 1s had food prepared by Q/M foods.

It was time for journey after lunch!

Form 1 headed for Youth Park while Form 2 headed for Penang Hill, Station 84. It was time for theory test after journey. The tests for form 1s were:

 Participants taking tests.

Yeap, sadly, it was raining that time.

Due to the heavy rain, our programme got delayed and affected, dinner was ready at about 7.30 p.m., then participants get to retest for whatever tests they failed for the day. Lights-out at 10.00p.m.

Stay tuned for Day 2 and 3!
